Not very good
26 September 2014
I don't think this is a very good film.

There are a lot of iffy accents. An all star cast don't seem to have any enthusiasm. Donald Sutherland puts in just about the worst performance I have ever seen from him. He talks in a monotonous drawl and just seems bored with the whole thing.

There is some action but it isn't very exciting and the whole film seems gloomy and grey with no real spark.

As I said the cast don't look like they really want to be there and appear to be going through the motions.

I haven't read the book so not sure if the film is like it or not but if the book is as poor as the film then I wonder why they bothered to make it.

An all star cast ought to have meant a better film but this is definitely not very good in my opinion.
